From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Horsley (born 1920 in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, England) is an English actor.
He made his acting debut at the Theatre Royal in Bournemouth. His early career saw him playing a succession of doctors and policemen, the former on film in Hell Drivers (1957), the latter on television in Big Breadwinner Hog (1969). He is best known, though, for his role as Doc Morrissey in the BBC sitcom The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin from 1976 to 1979. He reprised the role in The Legacy of Reginald Perrin in 1996.
He was a contender for the role of Lord President Borusa in the Doctor Who serial Arc of Infinity, but the role went to Leonard Sachs.
